[0028] (Example of form 1) The gift suggestion system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that suggests gifts that match the recipient's preferences for events such as Mother's Day and birthdays. This gift suggestion system uses AI to suggest gifts and timing based on information registered by the user on social media (such as birthdays) and initial registration information (such as family relationships and memories). Next, it also takes into account sales information from e-commerce sites to suggest purchasing the product at a time when it is most cost-effective. Furthermore, it creates gift wrapping and message card text according to the individual's hobbies and preferences. Finally, the AI ​​gift concierge explains the gift and its intention. For example, based on information registered by the user on social media (such as birthdays) and initial registration information (such as family relationships and memories), the AI ​​suggests gifts and timing. In this process, the AI ​​analyzes data such as the user's past purchase history, hobbies, and interests to select the most suitable gift. For example, if it is known that the user's mother likes flowers on Mother's Day, the AI ​​suggests a bouquet of flowers. Next, it also takes into account sales information from e-commerce sites to suggest purchasing the product at a time when it is most cost-effective. The AI ​​learns about product price trends and sales information from past data to predict the optimal purchase timing. For example, it can predict when a specific product will go on sale and suggest purchasing it at that time. Furthermore, it can create gift wrapping and message card text tailored to the user's tastes and preferences. The AI ​​generates the optimal wrapping method and message card text based on the user's tastes and preferences. For example, if the user prefers a simple design, it will suggest simple wrapping and a message card. Finally, the AI ​​gift concierge explains the gift and its meaning. The AI ​​gift concierge explains the characteristics and meaning of the selected gift to the user, enhancing the value of the gift. For example, it conveys the intention of the gift by explaining the type of flower bouquet and its meaning. This system allows users to choose the perfect gift for someone even in their busy daily lives. It also prevents the gift selection from becoming monotonous and allows users to provide gifts that will please the recipient. In addition, integration with e-commerce sites allows for a smooth process from purchase to delivery.This allows the gift suggestion system to handle everything from suggesting gifts based on user information to purchasing, wrapping, and providing explanations.

[0029] The gift suggestion system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, a suggestion unit, an analysis unit, a purchase unit, a generation unit, and an explanation unit. The collection unit collects user information. For example, the collection unit collects the user's SNS registration information and initial registration information. The suggestion unit suggests gifts and timing based on the information collected by the collection unit. For example, the suggestion unit analyzes data such as the user's past purchase history, hobbies, and interests to select the most suitable gift. The analysis unit predicts the timing of purchase for the gifts suggested by the suggestion unit. For example, the analysis unit analyzes sales information from e-commerce sites to predict the optimal purchase timing. The purchase unit purchases the products at the timing predicted by the analysis unit. For example, the purchase unit predicts when a particular product will go on sale and makes a purchase at that time. The generation unit wraps the products purchased by the purchase unit. For example, the generation unit generates gift wrapping methods according to the individual's hobbies and preferences. The explanation unit explains the wrapping and message card generated by the generation unit. For example, the explanation unit explains the selected gift product and its intent. As a result, the gift suggestion system according to this embodiment can consistently handle everything from suggesting gifts to purchasing, wrapping, and providing explanations, based on user information.

[0030] The data collection unit collects user information. For example, it collects user SNS registration information and initial registration information. Specifically, it collects data such as content posted by users on SNS, profile information, friendships, and pages and groups of interest. This allows for a detailed understanding of users' hobbies, interests, and social relationships. In addition, it collects basic information (name, age, gender, address, date of birth, etc.) that users enter when registering with the system as initial registration information. Furthermore, it collects information on products that users have purchased in the past and products they have viewed. This allows for an understanding of users' purchasing trends and preferences, enabling more accurate recommendations. The data collection unit centrally manages this information and can collaborate with other departments as needed. For example, the collected data is stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the proposal and analysis departments. By adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses can be made according to specific situations and conditions. As a result, the data collection unit can collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall performance of the system.

[0031] The suggestion department proposes gifts and timing based on information collected by the data collection department. For example, the suggestion department analyzes data such as the user's past purchase history, hobbies, and interests to select the most suitable gift. Specifically, it analyzes the user's social media posts and purchase history to identify what kind of products the user is interested in. Furthermore, it considers important dates such as the user's birthday and anniversaries and proposes gifts that are timed accordingly. The suggestion department uses AI to analyze this data and select gifts that are best suited to the user's preferences and interests. For example, based on the trends of products the user has purchased in the past, it proposes products in the same category or related products. It can also propose products from specific brands or designers based on the user's hobbies and interests. Based on this information, the suggestion department proposes the optimal gift and the timing of its purchase to the user. In this way, the suggestion department can provide personalized suggestions that meet the user's needs and improve user satisfaction.

[0032] The analysis department predicts the optimal purchase timing for gifts proposed by the proposal department. For example, the analysis department analyzes sales information from e-commerce sites to predict the best purchase timing. Specifically, it analyzes past sales data and price fluctuation patterns from e-commerce sites to predict when a particular product will be at its lowest price. Furthermore, it considers sales information related to seasons and events to identify the most advantageous purchase timing for the user. The analysis department uses AI to analyze this data and simulate multiple scenarios to identify the most likely purchase timing. For example, if a particular product is likely to be discounted during major sales such as Black Friday or Cyber ​​Monday, it will recommend purchasing it at that time. In addition, the analysis department can continuously revise its prediction results based on real-time updated data to respond to the latest situation. As a result, the analysis department can provide users with the optimal purchase timing and realize cost-effective gifts.

[0033] The purchasing unit purchases products at times predicted by the analysis unit. For example, the purchasing unit predicts when a specific product will go on sale and makes a purchase at that time. Specifically, it uses the API of e-commerce sites to automatically initiate the purchase process when a specific product goes on sale. The purchasing unit also compares multiple e-commerce sites to purchase products at the lowest price. By pre-registering the user's payment information and shipping address information, the purchasing unit can process purchases quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, the purchasing unit manages the purchase history and notifies the user of purchase confirmations and shipping status. In this way, the purchasing unit provides users with a smooth purchasing experience and allows them to efficiently prepare gifts.

[0034] The generation unit wraps the products purchased by the purchase unit. For example, the generation unit generates gift wrapping methods tailored to the individual's tastes and preferences. Specifically, it selects the color and design of the wrapping paper and ribbon according to the user's preferences and the theme of the gift. Furthermore, the generation unit can use AI to automatically generate wrapping designs and suggest multiple wrapping options to the user. For example, based on the theme chosen by the user, it can suggest seasonal designs or designs based on specific characters. In addition, the generation unit can perform wrapping work efficiently by automating the wrapping process. As a result, the generation unit can provide users with high-quality, personalized wrapping, enhancing the value of the gift.

[0035] The description unit explains the wrapping and message card generated by the generation unit. For example, the description unit explains the selected gift item and its intent. Specifically, it provides a detailed explanation of the gift's background, selection reasons, and the message it conveys. Furthermore, the description unit can use AI to generate message card content tailored to the user's preferences and interests. For example, if the user prefers a particular theme or style, it can generate a message that matches that theme and include it with the gift. The description unit can also provide practical information such as how to use and maintain the gift. This allows the description unit to enhance the value of the gift and create a memorable experience for the recipient. In addition, the description unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the message content and explanation methods.

Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.

[0191] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.

[0192] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.

[0193] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.

[0194] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.

[0195] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0196] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.

[0197] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.

[0198] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.

[0199] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[0200] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.

[0201] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.

[0202] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.

[0203] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.

[0204] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.

[0205] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
